Federal law enforcement agents in the U.S. have arrested a Los Angeles County man wanted by Mexican authorities in connection with the killing of a Tijuana sex worker and possibly two others, according to officials in both countries.
Bryant Rivera, a 30-year-old Downey resident, is charged in Baja California with at least one count of femicide and was the subject of an arrest warrant issued by a Mexican judge in November, according to a complaint filed by federal prosecutors in Los Angeles.
Baja California's attorney general described Rivera as a suspected "serial killer" and said in a news release that he is "presumed to be the perpetrator of three femicides" in Tijuana between September 2021 and February 2022. Attorney General Ricardo Iván Carpio Sánchez said investigators "gathered evidence that placed him in the location where the crimes were committed and the victims were found."
